Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attributed rising global energy prices to Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian energy facilities, linking the move to higher US cost of living. He also referenced the broader conflict with Iran when discussing elevated prices, reinforcing a geopolitical driver for energy risk.
